According to a U.S. Army memo obtained by sUAS News, the U.S. Army Research Lab and U.S. Navy have concluded that there are operational risks associated with DJI equipment. The official memorandum directs the services to "cease all use, uninstall all DJI applications, remove all batteries/storage media from the devices, and secure equipment for follow on direction."
